Does more volume mean deeper claims for Flint?

Each dot is one of Flint’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Flint’s own 7.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Flint's grants concentrate

Flint Group, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Flint sits between Fitzbionics Limited and Flusso Limited.

Flint's three-year grant acceleration

Flint Group, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
